Reading Shroud by Adrian Tchaikovsky and absolutely loving the way he describes intelligence and how it might appear in an alien entity, the way humans interpret behaviour based on their own experiences and how the aliens interpret ours in return. It's so clever I've laughed out loud multiple times with delight.
And I'm only about a quarter of the way through.

Finished reading #book #shroud by #AdrianTchaikovsky
Hard to review this book:
- it's well written
- it's well grounded in science, technology and psychology
- no real thought provoking ideas, at least to me
- very very good imagining of the possible workings of an truly alien mind
- getting a bit sloppy with science and realism at the end in order to force some acceptable ending
- setting is very believable far future dystopia that "just happens to be" and remains unquestioned -

I both loved and hated #Shroud by #AdrianTchaikovsky (and the dozen authors he must keep locked in his basement to churn out #scifi books for him).
Everything that happens down on the alien moon is as brilliant and mind-bending as usual for his recent novels. However, the last thing we need right now are stories that make the overthrow of planet-destroying capitalism seem even more like a fantastical proposition.

@RunalongWomble Howdy, Womble. I've just started on the upcoming new Adrian Tchaikovksy novel, Shroud (coming out late Feb, I think). Those familiar with Adrian's work will not be surprised to learn it includes some fabulously weird and disturbing alien biology!
